Party To Treason 2: Valdragon's Coup

[Florien]

• The guards don't really know what they'll do with mineral rights, they don't exactly have a warehouse to store all the ores and things you're pulling out of the ground, and more to the point, they're probably not allowed to be turning in ores for sale. You'll have to sell the ores and bribe them in multiple installments, and they don't exactly trust you to do that. The contract is perfectly violable after all, as far as they know. Who's going to enforce a contract to bribe someone? Certainly not you. You end up barred from the door and after much searching, find a different way down.
  
• After getting down, you try the inspection trick. This works fine, until someone asks you about what you're doing and you pretend to be lost. As it turns out, now you look like a food thief. This is a lesser crime than trying to get through the door below, but it's still enough to get them to try to kick you out of the farm. You never even get close to the door.
  
• You look around for a computer with something important that might not be backed up on it. You eventually talk your way into an administration office and delete a bunch of tax records and download some ransomware, though the security-footage files you find are noted as being backed up to Admin 13 itself, and quite possibly beyond, so you can't do much about that.
  
• Pompous: "I am the law, pay up" is the response you get to your preamble, followed by Annoyed: "Finally." as you hand over the bribe she clearly wants. You get out safely.

• Silk is somewhat expensive, and your sales pitch is convincing of its merits. The one problem is the dome is climate controlled so they don't really need blankets or have a way to sell them for a profit. It takes a while to find a guard that'll allow you through in exchange for them (probably the one with grey market connections.) but you do get down the elevator.
  
• A container is easy to get. Justifying your presence with "water samples" just leads to them making a joke about you going back to the cranberry bog. You're no technician, and whatever else you say about the Alliance, the water treatment system usually works. You end up having to get a bucket of water (and cranberries) from the cranberry bog, and see many of your smaller, less-smart brethren climbing the walls and workers to avoid the water. Luckily you're short enough to sneak through the wheat and things.
  
• You throw your cranberries and water on the keypad. It makes a snapping noise and some smoke comes out, but the door doesn't open, presumably because the numerous other security measures need to be got by. They seem annoyingly waterproof too. They'll probably have to replace the keypad, but beyond that you've done very little damage.
  
• Imperious: "I accept your gift, but that is not nearly enough. Mere cloaks? I have a dozen at home. You're coming with me." She smashes you in your many legs with the flat of her blade, and picks you up. Despite your struggles, you end up thoroughly arrested on charges of "suspicion of resisting arrest" which leads to Valdragon having to very carefully and slowly bail you out. He's thoroughly angry about it, and you still hurt from being beaten and being locked in a tiny cell.
